 The Sacred low is Icon’s offering of minimalist motorcycling footwear and I have to say they hit the nail on the head. Like a clean custom bike with no added “do –dads” they reduced this style to the bare essentials of functional details.
It’s lean and sleek with a flat bottom unit to provide a stable platform when on your bike. An alloy heel plate is integrated for protection and also sets the boot apart as a motorcycle specific boot, not a fashion boot. It features a 6 top grain leather upper, low profile Icon outsole, custom molded metal heel plate, Axialmetric steel shank, molded rubber shifter nubs, YKK autolock zippers.
In going over the features I pondered the word “Axialmetric” … what the hell is that?
I went to the source and was informed the shank is located in the bottom of the boot for support when the boot is on a motorcycle peg (so it doesn't fold in half like a sneaker). Axialmetric is Icon’s name for the shape and style of the otherwise normally called 'steal shank' which sounded like some kind of prison weapon, so we’ll stick with Axialmetric and the appreciation of having the support incorporated in the boot.
I love being able to go right the source and pester them with my annoying questions that leads to good bits of information that I wouldn’t have known..
The pro’s at Icon brought up a very good point and told me “One of the things we want to make sure of with our footwear is it stays on if there is an accident. Watch street motorcycle crashes on YouTube and you'll notice anyone not wearing motorcycle specific footwear immediately loses their shoes. Tight fit, retention straps or buckles are all part of the equation that equals protection and looking good. Trying to live your life with banged up feet is REALLY difficult. It's amazing how many people will wear gloves and a helmet but neglect their feet!” Good point!
I find they fit pretty much true to size. They’re stiff, protection stiff! The kind of boots that work in overtime and fit like a glove. A bit narrow at the front of the boot due to the design/construction. I’m regular width and find the ball of the foot area snug to tight and the vibe that they would break in and fit perfect. The svelte styling allows for good contact and ability to connect when shifting and braking, love that!
Available in black or brown. $120.00 Suggested Retail.
